Common errors
1. Project scope is the project of getting the Big Food Box ready for
opening
The project is NOT running it once it opens, or marketing it, or
recruiting for it
- BEWARE stakeholders and risks that are related to running
it once it is open.
2. General and blah!
Provide specific examples – names of the project sponsors, local
council, examples of type of suppliers, contractors
The project scenario must be obvious
3. Professional report structure – it matters!
A poorly written report or messy structure is like a poor
handshake……
Any questions?
